TIRE APPARATUS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 397,390, dated February5, 1889.

Application filed June 2 8, 1883 Serial No. 278,464. (N0 model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, PETER SOHLOSSER, a citizen of the United States,residing at De fiance, in the county of Defiance and State of Ohio, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Tire Apparatus, of whichthe following is a specification, reference being had therein to theaccompanying drawings.

This improvement relates to that class of tire apparatus in which atable is raised and lowered; and the invention consists in the peculiarconstruction, arrangement, and combination of parts hereinafter moreparticularly described, and then definitely pointed out in the claim.

In the appended drawings, Figure 1 shows a side elevation of myapparatus with parts of the tub broken away; Fig. 2, a similar view atright angles to that shown in Fig. 1; and Fig. 3 is a plan with part ofthe table broken away to show the arrangement of the racks, pinions, &c.

Referring now to the details of the drawings by letter, A represents a(preferably) cylindricaltub having on its bottom a base, B, from whichrise two posts, 0, which are substantially U-shaped in cross-section. Ineach of these posts sets a rack, D, having its upper end attached to atable, E. In each of these racks meshes a pinion, l1, rigidly secu redupon a shaft,G, journaled in the brackets II, which may either beattached to or formed with the post. The shaft G has a'lever, G, and twocrank-ar1ns,g, each operating a pitinan, I, connected to toggle-jointsJ, pivoted to the base and table, the whole arrangement being such thatas the pinion operates the crank, and thus raises the table, the cranksoperate on the foggle-j oints, and by straightenii'ig the same help toraise and support the table and hold the same in the raised position.

From the above it will be seen that by turning the lever G in onedirection the pinion operates the rack and the crank-arn1s bend thetoggle-joints, and that the table (with or without the tire placed onthe same) will descend into the tub, while a turn of the lever in theopposite direction will cause the pinion to act on the rack and by thesimultaneous strai ghten ing of the toggle-j oiu ts raise and supportthe table.

It will thus be seen that a cheap, strong, durable, and convenient tiresetter and cooler has been produced by my invention, which has but fewworking parts, and which is therefore not likely to get out of repair.

\Vhat I claim as new is The combination, in a tire apparatus, of thetable E, having racks D, the base B, having hollow posts 0, receivingthe racks D, and the toggle-joints connected to the base and table, withthe shaft G, mounted on the posts (J, and having the pinions F,crank-arms g, and lever G, and the connection between the toggle-jointsand the arms g, substantially as described.

In testimonywhereof I a itix my signature, in presence of two witnesses,this 25th day of June, 1883.

PETER SCHLOSSER.
